Abstract

An improved hydroisomerization catalyst system and process for preparing a base oil product using a combined catalyst system comprising an SSZ-91 molecular sieve and an SSZ-95 molecular sieve. The catalyst systems and processes generally involve the use of a catalyst comprising an SSZ-91 molecular sieve and a separate catalyst comprising an SSZ-95 molecular sieve to produce a dewaxed base oil product by sequentially contacting the catalyst with a hydrocarbon feedstock. The catalyst systems and processes provide improved base oil yields as well as other beneficial base oil properties.

Description

Catalyst systems and processes using SSZ-91 and SSZ-95
Cross Reference to Related Applications
The present application claims priority from U.S. patent application Ser. No. 17/095,337, filed 11/2020, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein in its entirety.
Technical Field
A hydroisomerization catalyst system and process for producing a base oil from a hydrocarbon feedstock using a catalyst comprising an SSZ-91 molecular sieve and an SSZ-95 molecular sieve.
Background
Hydroisomerization catalytic dewaxing processes for producing base oils from hydrocarbon feedstock involve introducing the feedstock in the presence of hydrogen into a reactor containing a dewaxing catalyst system. Within the reactor, the feed is contacted with a hydroisomerization catalyst under hydroisomerization dewaxing conditions to provide an isomerized stream. Hydroisomerization removes aromatics and residual nitrogen and sulfur and isomerizes normal paraffins to improve cold flow properties. The isomerized stream may be further contacted with a hydrofinishing catalyst in a second reactor to remove traces of any aromatics, olefins, improve color, etc. from the base oil product. The hydrofinishing unit may comprise a hydrofinishing catalyst comprising an alumina support and a noble metal, typically palladium, or a combination of platinum and palladium.
Challenges generally faced in typical hydroisomerization catalytic dewaxing processes include, among other things, providing one or more products that meet relevant product specifications (such as cloud point, pour point, viscosity, and/or viscosity index limits of the product (s)) while also maintaining good product yields. In addition, further upgrades may be used, for example during hydrofinishing, to further improve product quality, for example to achieve color and oxidation stability by saturating the aromatic hydrocarbon to reduce the aromatic hydrocarbon content. However, the presence of residual organic sulfur and nitrogen from upstream hydrotreating and hydrocracking processes can have a significant impact on downstream processes and final base oil product quality.
Dewaxing of linear paraffins involves many hydroconversion reactions including hydroisomerization, branched redistribution, and secondary hydroisomerization. The continuous hydroisomerization reaction results in an increase in the degree of branching with a concomitant redistribution of the branches. Increased branching generally increases the likelihood of chain cracking, resulting in greater fuel yield, and loss of base oil/lube yield. Thus, minimizing such reactions (including the formation of hydroisomerization transition species) can result in increased base oil/lube yield.
Thus, there is a need for a more robust catalyst system for base oil/lube oil production to isomerize wax molecules and provide increased base oil/lube oil yield by reducing undesirable cracking and hydroisomerization reactions. Thus, there is a continuing need for catalysts, catalyst systems, and processes for producing base oil/lube oil products while also providing good base oil/lube oil product yields.
Disclosure of Invention
The present invention relates to a hydroisomerization catalyst system and process for converting a waxy hydrocarbon feedstock into higher products, including base oils or lubricating oils, generally having increased yields of base oil products. The catalyst system and process uses a catalyst system comprising a first catalyst composition comprising an SSZ-91 molecular sieve and a second catalyst composition comprising an SSZ-95 molecular sieve. The first catalyst composition and the second catalyst composition are arranged such that the hydrocarbon feedstock can be contacted sequentially with the first catalyst composition or the second catalyst composition to provide a first stage product, followed by contacting the first stage product with the other catalyst composition to provide a second stage product. The hydroisomerization process converts the aliphatic unbranched paraffins (normal paraffins) to isoparaffins and cyclic species, thereby lowering the pour and cloud points of the base oil product compared to the feedstock. It has been found that the catalyst system formed from the combination of SSZ-91 and SSZ-95 advantageously provides a base oil product having an increased base oil/lube oil product yield as compared to a base oil product produced using the SSZ-91 catalyst or the SSZ-95 catalyst itself.
In one aspect, the present invention relates to a hydroisomerization catalyst system and process that can be used to produce dewaxed products, including base oils, particularly one or more product grades of base oil products, by hydroprocessing a suitable hydrocarbon feed stream. Although not necessarily limited thereto, it is an object of the present invention to provide improved base oil product yields while also providing other beneficial base oil product characteristics.
The first catalyst composition generally comprises an SSZ-91 molecular sieve and the second catalyst composition generally comprises an SSZ-95 molecular sieve. Each catalyst composition may further comprise a matrix material and at least one modifier selected from groups 6 to 10 and group 14 of the periodic table of elements. The modifier may also comprise a metal of group 2 of the periodic table of elements.
Hydroisomerization processes generally comprise contacting a hydrocarbon feedstock with a hydroisomerization catalyst system under hydroisomerization conditions to produce a base oil product or product stream. The feedstock may first be contacted with a first catalyst composition or a second catalyst composition to provide a first stage product, and then the first stage product is contacted with the other catalyst composition (i.e., the corresponding second catalyst composition or first catalyst composition) to provide a second stage product. The second stage product may itself be a base oil product or may be used to prepare a base oil product. For example, in some embodiments, the process can provide a base oil product having a viscosity index of at least about 109 and/or a pour point of no greater than about-10 ℃ or-13 ℃.

Depending on the type of hydrotreatment and the reaction conditions, the products of the hydrotreatment process can have, for example, improved viscosity, viscosity index, saturates content, low temperature properties, volatility, and depolarization. The terms "guard layer" and "guard bed" are synonymously and interchangeably used herein to refer to a hydrotreating catalyst or a hydrotreating catalyst layer. The protective layer may be a component of a catalyst system for dewaxing hydrocarbons and may be disposed upstream of at least one hydroisomerization catalyst.
"catalytic dewaxing" or hydroisomerization refers to a process that isomerizes normal paraffins to their more branched counterparts by contact with a catalyst in the presence of hydrogen.
"hydrofinishing" refers to a process that aims to improve the oxidation stability, UV stability and appearance of hydrofinished products by removing traces of aromatics, olefins, color bodies and solvents. UV stability refers to the stability of the hydrocarbons tested upon exposure to UV light and oxygen.

The feedstock may first be contacted with a first catalyst composition or a second catalyst composition to provide a first stage product, and then the first stage product is contacted with the other catalyst composition (i.e., the corresponding second catalyst composition or first catalyst composition) to provide a second stage product. The second stage product may itself be a base oil product or may be used to prepare a base oil product.
SSZ-91 molecular sieves used in hydroisomerization catalyst systems and processes are described, for example, in U.S. patent nos. 9,802,830, 9,920,260, 10,618,816 and WO 2017/034823. SSZ-91 molecular sieves typically comprise ZSM-48 type zeolite material having at least 70% of the polytype 6 of the total ZSM-48 type material; type EUO phase in an amount between 0% and 3.5% by weight; and a polycrystalline aggregate morphology comprising crystallites having an average aspect ratio between 1 and 8. The SSZ-91 molecular sieve can have a silica to alumina mole ratio in the range of 40 to 220 or 50 to 220 or 40 to 200. In some cases, the SSZ-91 molecular sieve may have at least 70% polytype 6 of the total ZSM-48 type material; an EUO-type phase in an amount of 0 wt% to 3.5 wt%; and a polycrystalline aggregate morphology comprising crystallites having an average aspect ratio of between 1 and 8. In some cases, the SSZ-91 material consists of at least 90% of polytype 6 of the total ZSM-48-type material present in the product. The structure of polytype 6 has been given the framework code MRE by the structural committee of the international zeolite association. The terms "MRE type molecular sieve" and "EUO type molecular sieve" include all molecular sieves specified in the framework of the international zeolite association and their isotypes, as described in Atlas of Zeolite Framework Types, editor Ch.Baerlocher, L.B.Mccusker and d.h. olson, elsevier, revision 6, 2007 and the zeolite structure database on the international zeolite association website (http:// www.iza-online.org).
The foregoing noted patent provides additional details regarding SSZ-91 molecular sieves, methods of making the same, and catalysts formed therefrom.
SSZ-95 molecular sieves used in hydroisomerization catalyst systems and processes are described, for example, in U.S. Pat. Nos. 9,573,124, 10052619, 10272422 and WO 2015/179228. SSZ-95 molecular sieves are typically MTT framework molecular sieves having a silica to alumina mole ratio of 20 to 70, a total micropore volume of between 0.005 and 0.02 cc/g; and H-D exchangeable acid site densities of up to 50% relative to SSZ-32.
The molecular sieve of each of the first and second catalyst compositions is typically combined with a matrix material to form a first base material and a second base material, respectively. The base material may be formed into a base extrudate, for example, by: the molecular sieve is combined with the matrix material, the mixture is extruded to form a shaped extrudate, and the extrudate is then dried and calcined. Each of the first and second catalyst compositions typically further comprises at least one modifier selected from groups 6 to 10 and 14 of the periodic table of elements and optionally further comprises a group 2 metal. The modifier may be added by using an impregnation solution containing a modifier compound.
Suitable matrix materials for one or both of the first catalyst composition and the second catalyst composition include alumina, silica, ceria, titania, tungsten oxide, zirconia, or combinations thereof. In some embodiments, the alumina used in the first catalyst composition and/or the second catalyst composition and the process may also be "high nanopore volume" alumina (abbreviated "HNPV" alumina) as described in U.S. application serial No. 17/095,010 (case No. T-11311) filed 11, 2020, which is incorporated herein by reference. Suitable aluminas are commercially available and include, for example, those from SasolAlumina and->Alumina or +.>Alumina.
Suitable modifiers are selected from groups 6 to 10 and group 14 of the periodic Table of the elements (IUPAC). Suitable group 6 modifiers include group 6 elements such as chromium (Cr), molybdenum (Mo), and tungsten (W) in any of elemental, compound, or ionic form, and combinations thereof. Suitable group 7 modifiers include group 7 elements such as manganese (Mn), rhenium (Re), and combinations thereof in any of elemental, compound, or ionic form. Suitable group 8 modifiers include group 8 elements such as iron (Fe), ruthenium (Ru), osmium (Os) in any of elemental, compound, or ionic forms, and combinations thereof. Suitable group 9 modifiers include group 9 elements such as cobalt (Co), rhodium (Rh), iridium (Ir), and combinations thereof in any of elemental, compound, or ionic form. Suitable group 10 modifiers include group 10 elements such as nickel (Ni), palladium (Pd), platinum (Pt) in any of elemental, compound, or ionic form, and combinations thereof. Suitable group 14 modifiers include group 14 elements such as germanium (Ge), tin (Sn), lead (Pb), and combinations thereof in any of elemental, compound, or ionic form. In addition, optional group 2 modifiers may be present, including group 2 elements, such as magnesium (Mg), calcium (Ca), strontium (Sr), barium (Ba), and combinations thereof, in any of elemental, compound, or ionic form.
The modifier advantageously comprises one or more group 10 metals. The group 10 metal may be, for example, platinum, palladium, or a combination thereof. In some aspects, platinum is a suitable group 10 metal and another group 6 to 10 and group 14 metal. Although not limited thereto, the group 6 to 10 and group 14 metals may be more narrowly selected from Pt, pd, ni, re, ru, ir, sn or combinations thereof. In combination with Pt as the first metal in the first catalyst composition and/or the second catalyst composition, the optional second metal in the first catalyst composition and/or the second catalyst composition may also be more narrowly selected from group 6 to 10 and group 14 metals, such as Pd, ni, re, ru, ir, sn or combinations thereof. In more specific cases, the catalyst may comprise Pt as a group 10 metal in an amount of 0.01 to 5.0 wt% or 0.01 to 2.0 wt% or 0.1 to 2.0 wt%, more particularly 0.01 to 1.0 wt% or 0.3 to 0.8 wt%. The optional second metal selected from Pd, ni, re, ru, ir, sn as a group 6 to 10 and group 14 metal or a combination thereof may be present in an amount of 0.01 to 5.0 wt% or 0.01 to 2.0 wt%, or 0.1 to 2.0 wt%, more particularly 0.01 to 1.0 wt% and 0.01 to 1.5 wt%.
The metal content in the first and second catalyst compositions can vary within useful ranges, for example, the total modified metal content of the catalyst can be from 0.01 to 5.0 wt.% or from 0.01 to 2.0 wt.% or from 0.1 to 2.0 wt.% (based on total catalyst weight). In some cases, the catalyst composition comprises 0.1-2.0 wt.% Pt as one of the modifying metals and 0.01-1.5 wt.% a second metal selected from groups 6-10 and 14, or 0.3-1.0 wt.% Pt and 0.03-1.0 wt.% second metal, or 0.3-1.0 wt.% Pt and 0.03-0.8 wt.% second metal. In some cases, the ratio of the first group 10 metal to the optional second metal selected from groups 6 to 10 and 14 may be in the range of 5:1 to 1:5, or 3:1 to 1:3, or 1:1 to 1:2, or 5:1 to 2:1, or 5:1 to 3:1, or 1:1 to 1:3, or 1:1 to 1:4. In more specific cases, the first catalyst composition and/or the second catalyst composition comprises from 0.01 wt% to 5.0 wt% of the modifying metal, from 1 wt% to 99 wt% of the matrix material, and from 0.1 wt% to 99 wt% of the SSZ-91 or SSZ-95 molecular sieve.
The base extrudate may be prepared according to any suitable method. For example, the base extrudate of the first catalyst composition and/or the second catalyst composition may be conveniently prepared by mixing the components together and extruding the well-mixed SSZ-91/matrix material and/or SSZ-95/matrix material mixture to form the base extrudate. The extrudate is then dried and calcined, followed by loading any modifiers onto the base extrudate. The modifier may be dispersed onto the base extrudate using a suitable impregnation technique. However, the method of preparing the base extrudate is not intended to be particularly limited depending on the particular process conditions or techniques.
The hydrocarbon feed may generally be selected from a variety of base oil feedstocks, and advantageously comprises a gas oil; vacuum gas oil; long residue (long residue); vacuum residue; atmospheric distillate; a heavy fuel; an oil; waxes and paraffins; used oil; deasphalted residue or crude oil; charges (charges) resulting from thermal or catalytic conversion processes; shale oil; circulating oil; fats, oils and waxes of animal and vegetable origin; petroleum and slack wax; or a combination thereof. The hydrocarbon feed may also comprise a feed hydrocarbon fraction (cut) in the distillation range of 400-1300°f, or 500-1100°f, or 600-1050°f, and/or wherein the hydrocarbon feed has a KV100 (kinematic viscosity at 100 ℃) range of about 3 to 30cSt, or about 3.5 to 15 cSt.
In some cases, the process may be advantageously used for light or heavy neutral base oil feedstocks, such as Vacuum Gas Oil (VGO), as hydrocarbon feeds, wherein SSZ-91 and SSZ-95 catalyst compositions comprise Pt modified metals, or a combination of Pt and another modifier.
The one or more products, or product streams, may be used to produce one or more base oil products, such as producing a multi-grade (multi grade) having a KV100 in the range of about 2 to 30 cSt. In some cases, such base oil products may have a pour point of no more than about-10 ℃ or-13 ℃.
The process and catalyst system may also be combined with additional process steps or system components, for example, the feedstock may be further subjected to hydrotreating conditions with a hydrotreating catalyst prior to contacting the hydrocarbon feedstock with the SSZ-91 catalyst composition or the SSZ-95 catalyst composition, optionally wherein the hydrotreating catalyst comprises a guard layer catalyst comprising a refractory inorganic oxide material comprising about 0.1 wt% to 1 wt% Pt and about 0.2 wt% to 1.5 wt% Pd.
One of the advantages provided by the process and catalyst system of the present invention is that the yield of base oil product produced using a combination of a first catalyst composition and a second catalyst composition based on SSZ-91 and SSZ-95 molecular sieves is improved over the same process using either the SSZ-91 catalyst composition alone or the SSZ-95 catalyst composition alone. For example, the base oil yield when using a combination of first and second SSZ-91 and SSZ-95 catalyst compositions can be significantly increased by at least about 0.5 wt.% or 1.0 wt.% as compared to using only SSZ-91 or SSZ-95 catalyst compositions in the same process.
In practice, hydrodewaxing is mainly used to lower the pour point of the base oil and/or to lower the cloud point of the base oil by removing wax from the base oil. Typically, dewaxing processes wax using catalytic processes, typically upgrading the dewaterer feed prior to dewaxing to increase viscosity index, reduce aromatics and heteroatom content, and reduce the amount of low boiling components in the dewaterer feed. Some dewaxing catalysts accomplish the wax conversion reaction by cracking waxy molecules into lower molecular weight molecules. Other dewaxing processes can convert waxes contained in hydrocarbon feeds to the process by wax isomerization to produce isomerized molecules having a pour point lower than the non-isomerized molecular counterparts. As used herein, isomerization includes hydroisomerization processes that use hydrogen in the isomerization of wax molecules under catalytic hydroisomerization conditions.
Suitable hydrodewaxing conditions will generally depend on the feed used, the catalyst used, the desired yield and the desired base oil properties. Typical conditions include temperatures of 500°f to 775°f (260 ℃ to 413 ℃); a pressure of 15psig to 3000psig (0.10 MPa to 20.68MPa gauge); 0.25hr -1 For 20hr -1 Is a LHSV of (2); and 2000SCF/bbl to 30,000SCF/bbl (356 to 5340 m) 3 H 2 /m 3 Feed) hydrogen to feed ratio. Typically, hydrogen is separated from the product and recycled to the isomerization zone. Typically, the dewaxing process of the present invention is performed in the presence of hydrogen. Typically, the ratio of hydrogen to hydrocarbon may be in the range of about 2000 to about 10,000 standard cubic feet H 2 Barrel hydrocarbon and typically about 2500 to about 5000 standard cubic feet H 2 In the range of barrel hydrocarbon. The above conditions can be applied to hydrogenationHydrotreating conditions in the finishing zone and hydroisomerization conditions in the first catalyst and the second catalyst. Suitable dewaxing conditions and processes are described, for example, in U.S. Pat. nos. 5,135,638, 5,282,958, and 7,282,134.
While the catalyst system and process have been generally described in terms of a combination of a first catalyst composition and a second catalyst composition comprising SSZ-91 and SSZ-95 molecular sieves, it should be understood that additional catalysts (including layered catalysts) and treatment steps may be present, e.g., including one or more hydrotreating catalysts/steps, guard layers, and/or one or more hydrofinishing catalysts/steps.

Example 3 hydroisomerization Property of catalyst A, B and combined A and B System
The Vacuum Gas Oil (VGO) hydrocracked product feedstock having the properties shown in table 1 was hydroisomerized using catalysts a and B.
TABLE 1
Hydroisomerization reactions are carried out in a straight-through microcell fixed bed reactor (without recycle) and only feedstock and hydrogen are fed into the reactor. Run was run at 2300psig total pressure. The raw materials are reacted for 1h -1 Is passed through the reactor. The hydrogen to oil ratio was about 4000scfb and the reactor temperature ranged from 550°f to 650°f. The base oil product is separated from the fuel by a distillation section.
The test was carried out using catalyst a alone, catalyst B alone, a layered catalyst system with catalyst a on top of catalyst B in the same reactor ("a/B"), and a layered catalyst system with catalyst B on top of catalyst a in the same reactor ("B/a"). The layered A/B and B/A catalyst systems were carried out using 50% by volume of catalyst A and 50% by volume of catalyst B. The test of catalyst a alone was used as a "base case" for determining the different hydroisomerization catalyst temperatures. The catalyst hydroisomerization performance results are shown in table 2.
TABLE 2
The layered a/B and B/a catalyst systems showed significantly higher base oil yields of 2 wt.% or higher compared to catalyst a alone (SSZ-91) and catalyst B alone (SSZ-95). In addition, the viscosity index of the layered catalyst system is about 1-2 points higher than that of the single catalyst system.
